Really enjoyed my stay with the Dong Seoul. This was in a convenient location for me in Seoul to access various sights and friends I was visiting. The front desk were helpful, and the room was in good condition. They were able to hold my suitcase for me when I arrived early, and have a devoted room for this purpose. I would stay here again if I visit East-Seoul.

Good for price and location

For the price and location, we were happy with what we got. It was clean, there was enough room that we didn't feel cramped, and the beds were comfortable. I would stay again if I needed a hotel in that area.

No no no!! Don't stay here...nothing lile photos

This hotel is nothing likd the photos! It is old and gross. The bathroom wasnt cleaned and had garbage from previous people laying aeound (some stuffed in the broken shower wall) DIRTY!!! The beds were tiny and hard...and the sheets were either stained or dirty with a person sized brown stain. The whole experience was shocking. The only good thing is walking distance to the bus station.

Give customers access to Air Con

I thankfully only had to stay at this hotel for one night instead of the planned 3 nights. I had no control of my air con, the room reeked of cigarettes making me sleep with a towel over my face to sleep ok and the room was muggy and warm, not very comfortable at all.
